Baked Stuffed White Cheddar Meatballs

White Cheddar Meatballs are perfect for dinner or as an appetizer. These healthy baked meatballs have a delicious crunchy exterior and a tender cheesy center that contrasts perfectly to the sweetness of the bbq sauce glaze. They’re guaranteed to disappear in a jiffy.

I don’t know of anything that says comfort food like meatballs. You can make them large for the main meal, or smaller for an appetizer. Another benefit is that you can make a small number or a large number and freeze them. Regardless of the occasion, you’ll love these Stuffed White Cheddar Meatballs.

Baked Cheddar Meatballs are something that I put together when I was losing weight. Out of a pound of meat, I made 12 healthy meatballs. Instead of cutting a big ole slice of meatloaf I can have pre-portioned meatballs. Served with a side salad or fresh veggies, these stuffed meatballs make a delicious meal. You can also make them mini size and serve them as an appetizer.

These meatballs are so good that they don’t need to be drowned in sauce, and they’re so easy to put together. Best of all, they are baked in the oven. I toasted Italian breadcrumbs and browned the onion instead of adding it raw which gives this dish a deeper richer flavor.

How to make meatballs

All of the ingredients were combined in a large bowl.

Form the mixture into a square and divide it into 12 even pieces. Some may have been a little smaller than others. I’ll give those to John. He will not know.

Roll each square into a ball and place the meatballs onto a foil-lined baking sheet.

Glaze with BBQ sauce.

Bake

These look so good, Julie! And I am SO hungry right now! Will these make an appearance on your table for Super Bowl? I bet they are so cheesy when you bite into them! I really love a good meatball. My girl friend and I got together a couple of weeks ago and made probably 300-400 tiny meatballs for Italian wedding soup! After that we vowed to have meatball rolling night more often! We will add these to the roster!

I love that a meatball rolling night! They are cheesy yummy! Thanks Tracey. We aren’t doing much for the game but my hubby and I usually make a nice Sunday dinner together and enjoy a bit of vino. How about you?

Katie, I apologize for not responding earlier. Not sure I am loving the new WordPress comment system. You can serve these like you would meatloaf. Maybe with potatoes or a pasta or veggie? You could also make them as an appetizer. Thank you for visiting!

Love these cheddar meatballs Julie, I like the idea of sautéing the onion before you bake them, I imagine the flavor is much more robust this way. Your pictures are great too, I am having such fun with the photography part of blogging too. Will bookmark and try your meatballs for sure, great comfort food for the winter for sure 🙂
